The Joker's Daughter Revealed

Wait, WHAT? Come check out the alleged daughter of the Clown Prince of Crime.

According to a new teaser from DC, it looks like Batman's arch enemy has a daughter. Based on the image posted by Bob Harris, it definitely looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Is she really his daughter or just a fan? How'd she get his face -- did it wash into the sewers where she lurks or does this mean the villain is still around and he passed along his lovely mug? Did he have her with Harley Quinn? Is this the New 52 introduction of Duela Dent? There's so many questions, but as of right now, all we have is this image.

Which series she'll show up in has yet to be revealed. What do you make of this, Viners?

I lean toward Duela, but Harper spends lots of time in the sewers. We have seen Harper get wrapped up in mast vigilantism its possible she gets picks up the joker mantel. DC keeps saying she will be a major character, I figured she would be the next Robin though.

I also assume and hope that it's Duela. Other than Duela being the obvious choice, it's Bret Booth concept art, and I'm not sure if he's done any concepts for the main bat books. So my guess is this character will be appearing in Teen Titans, Nightwing, or Earth 2, all of which would have strong links to Duela.

But on the other hand when Snyder revealed that Harper Rowe would be a major part of the Batman mythos, and many people jumped to her being the new Oracle, or later Robin, I always thought it would be more interesting if that occurred with Harper becoming a new villain. She would certainly not be the first morally complex villain in Gotham, or the first ally of Batman to turn evil, but she would probably be the first to be really fleshed out as a character before the rug is pulled out from under the audience.

She looks absolutely hideous. If this is the New 52 version of Duela Dent, they need to give it up. They keep trying to make this character as interesting, cool and popular as Joker and Harley and it just isn't working...

PS: Maybe keep those matching purple gloves and boots and scrap the rest. It looks miserable.

Why is everyone so worked up over a drawing? They don't even have a name yet.

Actually you can clearly see that they called her "the joker's daughter" in dc's site. Seems like a lot of folks here clearly have no idea who the joker's daughter is in the first place so they think the title is supposed to be literal

Oh god, looks like Snyder's gonna ruin another classic super villains origin story. It's Mr. Freeze all over again! Btw, does anyone know if Joker's got his face back? That was the stupidest crap! Like, he was already a sinister character, turning him into fake leatherface was completely unnecessary.
